Lazy River
Bobby Darin Lyrics
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes the morning, we roll along
Make me blue skies above
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That's a lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, baby, dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes a bright new mornin' where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But, as long as we're in love
Yeah, we'll be up a lazy river how happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
From the halfway mark
Yeah, up a lazy river where that robin's song
Awakes a bright new mornin', we can roll along
A, a, a, there are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy river
Up a crazy, lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain't goin' your way
Get outta my way
Up a lazy river with me

Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

I loved Mack, Beyond, and Splish Splash. But this was the track where I realized Bobby was next level.

His greatest recording of many great ones. He was the most under-appreciated performer in the last 100 years. He excelled at nearly all genres and was a superb song writer, actor, musician and the ultimate showman.
